Key legal question
Whether the Federal Administrative Court wrongly failed to enter into the appeal for alleged non-payment of the cost advance.
Extracted holding
The non-entry decision was unlawful because the cost advance was paid within the deadline.
Extracted reasoning
Evidence showed a check for CHF 400 dated 2009-07-22 and sent to the court on 2009-07-23. The Federal Administrative Court confirmed that its earlier finding rested on a bookkeeping error that had since been corrected.
